Nvidia: "The only way you're getting more than 8GB on low end cards is if you pay for hardware from two generations ago."
I know they don't care but fuck them.

With this and the 5800X3D being manufactured again and Raptor Lake being spun up for yet another refresh, I wonder how long it will be before we see something like the Core 2 Quad Q6600 being resurrected along with the P35 chipset and DDR2.
I jest, but with much of a farce the industry has become lately, it does make me wonder how much further backwards we're going to go.
$340 is a lot. Sure, it runs almost anything, but not that well. Gonna be selling mine soon and I' ve been thinking around $200, but I might get more - thanks nvidia.
Did they actually restart manufacturing this card or just find a warehouse full of old stock?
I'm running a 3060 and NGL, it's handling every game I have w/o issue.
Though it should cost a lot less at this point.
Yaah, nvidia.. get a grip.
My 3050 runs great. Not as good specs as the 3060 but I’ve had very little issues and it was well worth whatever I paid around 4 years ago
I wouldn't mind if they costed $200 USD. But at $339 USD?
Era of $200 dGPUs is over and it's not even purely due to ML tech impacting component costs. Inflation and overall cost of packaging mean that it's not viable to have $200 dGPU (outside of the absolute low end that's barely comparable to mediocre iGPU performance).
Welp on the brightside this might help keep my outdated hardware relevant for a while longer...
